Went to Advance and tried to remember all the stuff I've done to the niner to get prices. $1200 for everything. An that's just what I could remember.

Anyway. Pics and progress to follow.

Check rock auto. Cheaper than the local parts houses. I only go to them when I need something quicker than a day or two anymore.

Haha thanks. I did. I'm already on their mailing list so I get emails anytime something for one of my vehicles goes on sale. Most of the stuff I actually buy comes from Rockauto or Kolak. Advanced was just an easy way to get a to-do list down on paper.

Ok. So the first priorities are getting this thing drive-able. So a new headliner, some cleaning, and an AC recharge are on the list for this weekend. After spending some time with Princess, it's obvious she needs some TLC. But for $750 that's to be expected...

These are all of the "Before" pictures. Not nearly as bad as the niner, but still not a cherry show car.

Somebody (not me) left the sunroof open while we were getting tags at the DMV. It rained a little bit...I also got a new card for the camera, so no more iPhone pics. Yay!

Almost. The niner is getting new eyes and Princess gets the hand-me-downs. The blue bottle was an empty bottle if 5w-30 that I found tucked up behind the AC dryer. Dunno what it was doing there but it's in the trash now.

Anyways, subbed looks like a good build thread.

No pictures but I found some goodies. There were 5 new headlight bulbs in the glove box. 4 still in the wrappers. And $2.37 in change total. That brings the total price of Princess down to $747.63.

I'm fighting the AC. This is my first car with it equipped and potentially functional. It's just not exactly functional... Yet.
